Kilmarnock reveal Derek McInnes will not take charge against Hearts
Kilmarnock have revealed Derek McInnes will not take charge of their final Premiership match against Hearts.
McInnes is due to move to the Tynecastle side at the end of the season after the clubs agreed terms this week.
Some supporters targeted their manager with anti-Hearts songs and more personal chants during their 3-0 defeat to Motherwell on Wednesday night.
It has now been agreed the 53-year old will not take his place in the dugout at Rugby Park on Sunday.
Coaches Paul Sheerin and Alan Archibald will also not be involved.
Chris Burke and Craig Clark will manage the team in their absence.
A club statement read: "It has been agreed between our Board of Directors, Derek McInnes and his staff that the best approach would be if they were not in charge for the final match of the season.
"Paul Sheerin and Alan Archibald will also not be involved – first team preparation and matchday duties will be undertaken by Chris Burke and Craig Clark.
"We look forward to seeing the blue and white army out in force this weekend as we give the players the send off they deserve.
"More information will follow in due course."
